Educator's Arcade
More than 100 no-prep digital learning games and 3D labs for math, science and ELA, grades 3 to 12. When a student adds the denominators or reads the arrow backwards, the game says so, by name.
Each game is a single HTML file that runs on a Chromebook with no wifi.
Students open it and play. Nothing is collected, so there is nothing to approve.
Rookie, Varsity and Nationals, so one file covers the whole room.
Each student gets a skill report, and you get five discussion questions.
These three run right here in the browser. No download, no login.
Six tracks, from third grade fractions to the unit circle.
Nine math games set on one street of shops.
Upper elementary math where every problem is a job in a shop: shading hundredths at the snack bar, fencing a yard, filling a box with cubes. Built for centers and test prep.
1/2 + 1/3 = 2/5? Every class has a student who adds the bottoms.
The number sense students need before algebra. When a student adds the denominators, the game names that exact mistake and re-cuts both bars into sixths.
Legs: 6 in and 8 in. Long side: 14 in? Add the squares, not the sides.
Pre-algebra and middle school geometry, from translating expressions to the Pythagorean theorem. The game says exactly what went wrong.
(x + 6)(x + 5) = x² + 30? The middle term goes missing. Every year.
From "is it a function?" to lines of best fit. Each game is built around the mistake Algebra 1 students make every year.
Nine geometry games, from transformations to proofs.
High school geometry with the reasoning left in: why SSA fails, where a two-column proof goes circular, and what a cross-section really looks like.
√−25 · √−4 = 10? It is −10.
The Algebra 2 units students dread: logs, complex numbers, rational functions and the unit circle. The game catches the mistake and shows the fix, such as changing each root to i first.
Seven tracks across elementary, middle school and high school science.
Nine science games for NGSS centers.
Elementary science as field work: read a weather graph, sort what shapes the land, close a circuit. Made for centers and test prep.
Where does a tree's mass come from? Most students say the soil.
Cells to evolution, built on the misconceptions that survive the unit test. In the photosynthesis game a ledger shows where every atom went.
"Moon phases are Earth's shadow." Most of the class agrees. It is wrong.
Middle school Earth and space science. Earth's shadow only matters in an eclipse; phases come from the viewing angle, and the game says so when a student picks the shadow.
Hotter = faster? Not past the peak.
Genetics, evolution and ecology for high school biology. Push an enzyme past its optimum and it loses its shape; the game shows the rate fall to zero.
Mitosis, now a game.
The classic biology labs as games, each paired with a printable worksheet: onion root tips, potato cores, food tests and gel electrophoresis.
N₂ + 3H₂ → N₂H₆. The atoms balance. It is still wrong.
Stoichiometry, gas laws and bonding. Rewriting a formula balances the atoms and makes a different substance, and the game tells the student that in those words.
Science models you can turn, take apart and label.
Interactive 3D models that run in the browser, covering cells, the human body, plants, chemistry, Earth and space, and geometry. Each comes with a labeling worksheet and a printable poster.
Grammar and writing for middle school.
"The power went out, we played by flashlight." One sentence? It is a comma splice.
Grammar and writing for middle school. The game names the error, a comma splice or a dangling modifier, and shows the fix.
Two larger bundles put whole tracks together.
Questions teachers ask
Yes. Each game is a single HTML file that opens in the browser. It runs on a Chromebook, a laptop or a desktop, and it keeps working with no wifi once the file is open.
No. Students open the game and play. There are no accounts, and the games do not collect, store or send any student data, so there is nothing for your district to approve.
Every download comes with a teacher guide that walks through four ways to hand it out: Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology or a Google Site. You can also put the file on a shared drive.
Every game has three levels, Rookie, Varsity and Nationals, so one file covers the whole room. Each game runs in six short acts that build from the idea to the hard cases.
At the end each student gets a skill report showing what they have and what they missed. The teacher guide adds five discussion questions with model answers, a scoring rubric and the standards the game covers.
Each wrong answer in a game is a real misconception, such as adding the denominators or reading the arrow backwards. When a student picks it, the game names that mistake and shows why it fails, instead of just marking it wrong.
The full catalog is in the Educator's Arcade store on Teachers Pay Teachers. Games are sold one at a time or as a bundle for each track, and every track has a free game to try first.
